Three stocks are being replaced in the NSE Nifty, as of October 1.
Going out | Coming In |
ABB | BAJAJ-AUTO |
IDEA | Dr. Reddy |
UNITECH | SESAGOA |
Typically stocks coming in tend to go up as index funds load up on them, but remember that the weightages of these stocks are very small, and the new stocks coming in aren’t going to change the indices a heck of a lot. The sum of the weightages of the stocks going out is just 1.3% of the Nifty today; and that is less than even the weight of TATAPOWER which is 1.31%.
I’m long some of the “Coming in” stocks, before I even knew of the change – but it may be worth taking a position in them just in case.
